Texas Instruments Software Engineer interview questions

I submit my resume on campus. They like my background a lot so they scheduled a phone interview with me first. Then they invited me for an on-site interview. I was given a C test. I did well and then I was showed around. My manager introduced me to other people in the group.

I had an approximately one hour phone interview with systems programming hiring manager. The hiring manager had a thorough knowledge of how systems applications were used in the organization and had a good grasp of the technical material. We had a pleasant conversation. He was sorting through the resumes he had received, picking through the candidates that had only listed buzz words. His choice was based on selecting candidates who had more systems programming experience vs applications programming experience. There was mutual agreement that I was not an exact fit for the job and there were probably other candidates better suited for the position.
